Drag & Follow: How do I set up a stream of a Twitter or Facebook user?

With the rapid growth of real-time content and activity feeds from sources like Facebook and Twitter, many people are struggling to keep track of multiple friends and interests that change day-to-day.

If you have Twitter, Social search or Facebook apps installed on your Netvibes dashboard and you see a hashtag come through a tweet from someone you follow, all you have to do is click and drag the hash tag onto your tab. Netvibes automatically creates a new Twitter app for you populated with search results for that hash tag.

You can also do this with people you follow in either Twitter or Facebook. Drag their username and a breakout app with just their stream is created. Also very handy for following a few key people. Having them isolated makes it easier to follow and interact with them.
